To all whom it may concern Be it knownthat we, LEO l/Vinss, ,a. citizenof the Republic of Czechoslovakia, and AnoLPrI l/Vnrss, a citizen of theUnited States, and both residents of the borough of Brook- .lyn, city ofNew York, in the county of .Kings and State of New York, have jointlyinvented certain new and useful Improve- ..rnents in a Method of MakingBoxes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to .a method of making boxes. Itsobjectincludesthe steps, by means of which a box, preferably of cardboard ismade of ablank folded to formthe bottom and neck of the box, and a framepreferably of cardboard, with suitable strips preferably ofpaperfastened to the neck and bottom of the box. The steps include thefolding of one edge of one of said strips over an edge of the frame andthe foldingofthe other edge on to the bottom ofthe box. The steps alsoinclude the fastening of the second strip with its main portion to theouter face of the neck of the box and with one of its-edges turned overthe edge of the neck and fastened to the inner faces of the latter.

The method includes the winding of the frame with its strip around theneck and the winding of another strip around the neck, while one end ofthe latter strip is free, to avoid any creasewhile the latter strip isfastened in place. The method includes steps to fasten together theframe and its strip with an adhesive, steps to fasten a strip to theneck with an adhesive and steps to fasten the 'frame to the neck with anadhesive. 7

An arm 256 has'oneend fastened-to the shaft 255 and its other endisPinned-to .areciprocating lever 258. .A sleeve I260f=is supported on the shaft 255an'd'has extending therefrom the :arm.:261 which is pinned-to areciprocating .llever 262. An :3111'1263 with a cam groove extends Ifrom the sleeve 2'60.

A pin 265 (see Figs. 6 and 8) is supported in brackets extending fromthe slide plate .241. The said pin extends through the cam groove of thearm 263. An arm 266 is fastened to the shaft 255 and extends under thecross piece 239. Rotating rollers 268 are journaled above-the plate 250.A guide bracket 270 with the roller 270 extends from the platform 20 anda guide roller 271 is ournaled in the guides 200.

A glue pot 275 with the glue distributing disc 276, the guide Wheel 277and the reel 278 are located adjacent 'to the platform and to the leftthereof. In the drawing theglue pot 275 is shown below the platform 20to be enabled to show it on the same sheet .of drawing. A second gluepot 285 withthe glue distributing disc 286, the guide wheel 287 and thereel 288 are located under the platform 20.

To carry out the steps of the method'to make the box a strip of materialA, of pa per in this instance, is unwound from the reel 288 and, coat-edon its face a, by means of the disc 286 of the gluepot and located uponthe guide plate 244 with its end about under the right hand end of thestationary member 210 of the cutter.

Next a piece of card board B preferably scored at Z) is located upon thehorizontal plate 250, and brought under the rotating rollers 268, whichmoves its edge against the stop plate 232 and its extensions 233, thepresser foot 235 being at this time in its raised position. This locatesa requisite amount of the cardboard B upon the stationary member 210 ofthe cutter. The presser foot 235 is now brought down upon the card boardB- with the downward swing of the arm 266, caused by the oscillation. ofthe shaft 255. This causes the gripping pins 235 to grip the card boardand. the latter is securelypositioned uponthe men] her 210. The knifeblade 211 now descends and cuts a strip from the card board "B toproduce a frame C. The presser foot 235 together with the stop plate 232now moves forwardly by reason of the forward move ment of the slideplate 241. The plate 241 slides forward by reason of the coaction of thearm 263 and the pin 265. With the forward movement of the presser foot235, the gripping fingers 235 force the frame C to move with the saidpresser foot. The latter now descends and locates the frame C upon theside a of the strip A. The presser'foot 235 remainsin its loweredposition until :the three gripping fingers 1151 on the left hand end ofthe oscillating shaft 149 bear down on frame'C, after which the presserfoot 235 rises and together with't-he stop plate 232 both return totheir original positions.

The slide bracket 137 now moves in the direction of the arrow X andcarries v the forward end of the frame C in line with the cutting edgesof the lower shears 197. While the bracket 137 moves the strip A it isfolded over an edge of frame C by means of the folder 199. as indicatedat a 13 and 141).

At this time a strip E of paper has been unwound. from the reel 278,coated on the side 6 with an adhesive from the glue pot 275 and locatedupon the guide plate 205 with its end in line with the cutting edges ofthe upper shears 192 and advanced horizontally a short distance beyondthe cutting edges of the lower shears 197. The clamping fingers 182 and184: now descend and locate the end of the strip E upon the frame C andthe already folded over portion a of the strip A. The gripping finger151 now bears down on the frame C and the strips A and E. The threegripping fingers 151 on the left hand end of the shaft 149 grip a secondframe C with its strip A while the remaining gripping fingers 151 gripthe frame C with its strip A. The clamping fingers 132 and 1341 now risein an open position and permit the strip E to move between them. Theslide bracket 137 now moves forward to the position shown in Fig. 9 andcarries forward the frames C and C with their strips A in conjunctionwith the strip E. The first frame C with its strip A and the forward endof the strip E are located below the folding block 35. The lever 164 nowrises which permits the guide bracket 139 to swing up under the tensionof the spring 1 18, which causes the swing ing end of the plate 139 ofthe bracket 139 to force the frame C with the strips A and E against theneck of the box to be described located on the forming block 35. At thesame time the gripping finger 72 which can swing through a notch in theplate 139 bears up against the frame C and the strips A and E to holdthem in place. Just before the. forming block 35 turns, the clampingfingers 182 and 184 clamp the strip E. Both shears 192 and 197 nowoperate and the upper shears 192 sever the strip E while the lowershears sever the strip A between the adjacent ends of the two frames Cand C The shears 192 are somwhat advanced horizontally beyond the shears197 to allow a small length of the strip to form an overlap a whenfinally located in place on the neck of the box that is being formed.

Blanks H for the combined neck and bottom are located on the guides 84:and by means of the sliding carriage having the walls 86 and 87 arepressed against the cross head 98. The latter forces the blanks H one ata time into the guides 71 of the rotating frame 69, when the formingblock is in its first position indicated at 1, Fig. 2. The forming block35 now moves horizontally forward and forces the blank H through theopening of the die 70, and by means of which the sides of the blank areturned at right angles to its body to form the neck H of the box. lVhilein this position suction is produced in the forming block 35 by means ofan air pump coac-ting with the cock A9 and thereby the blank lltemporarily adheres to the end and sides of said block 35. The formingblock with its blank is next moved to the second position indicated at2, F 2.

The frame C and the strips A and E are now brought into contact with theneck H of the box and the forming block 35 begins to turn andsimultaneously the folders 60 to 6A one after the other fold theextending portion of the strip A on the bottom H of the partially formedbox. Each of the folders 60 to (Set performs its function when oppositeone of the lower sides of the forming block The forming block 35 withits partially finished box is now moved to its third position indicatedat 3 (Fig. 2) and is located in the die 117 of the slide 116. The plugof the cock 19 now turns to release the suction. The forming block 35next returns to the first position, and at the same time the knockoutplate 41 retains the box in the die 117 until the forming block 35 isout of contact with the box and moves back into the forming block 35.The slide 116 now moves to the right to locate the partially formed boxaxially in line with the cup shaped head 121. The head 121 with itsfolding wings 124: advance toward the box. The wings 12st close in andbend the extending portion 6 of the strip E around the edges of the neckH of the box. The head 121 advances the wings 124- and forces theextending portions of the strip E against the inner faces of the neck H.The plate 1.12 now advances and bears against the bottom of the box. Atthe same time the head 121 with the box thereon moves out of the die117. When the box is clear of said die the presser plate 112 returns toits original position. As the head 121 recedes the strippers 128 detachthe box from the head 121 and it is ready for use.

It will be noted that the roller 153 only. coats the frame 0 with anadhesive while it is moving. It will also be noted that when the frame Cwith the strip A is under the guide plate 142 the latter at its swingingend bears on the frame C with its strip A without coming in contact withthe adhesive on the frame. The guides 1 13 at the same-time gauge thestrip E to locate the parts in proper position just before contactingwith the neck H on the folding block 35 of the partially formed box. Thearm 17 2 bears down on the strip E at the proper time with the coactionof the cam 17 5 and the roller 173. It will be also noted that as theframe C is wound around the neck that the strip E will follow the neckas it is wound, avoiding creases as it is located in position.

The ends of the frame C when in position around the neck H form a buttjoint and theo-verlap a joins the said ends.
